Dragon God

The Star Luo Empire Palace.

Dai Tianling sat alone in his study, clearly feeling a little shut off from the world.

Among the civil and military officials, discordant voices had begun to rise.

Some were questioning why they hadn't simply dealt with Qilin Douluo Tong Yu from the start.

If they weren't going to kill Tong Yu, why hadn't they wiped out the roots?

They could have simply killed Tang Ziran and his entire family back then, and none of this would have happened.

Instead, things had come to this:

Tang Ziran's son, Tang Wulin, had returned to the empire with a weapon powerful enough to overturn it.

The ruler was no longer an absolute authority.

The voices below mattered just as much.

If he truly proved too inept and incompetent, he could even be impeached.

Of course, that would never happen, but this incident had indeed had disastrous consequences.

Not only had Mu Han forced the Star Luo Empire to bow its head in front of everyone,

but he was a Federation native through and through, and yet the people had actually supported him in this matter.

Then there was the Tang Sect.

Between the Federation and Star Luo, the Tang Sect supported Star Luo.

But in this matter, the Tang Sect had no way to support Star Luo.

After all, Star Luo was in the wrong to begin with.

Even if Mu Han had only seized on the issue as a pretext, at least in name, he was standing up for a friend.

And his friend, Tang Wulin, was a Tang Sect disciple.

Dai Tianling didn't blame the Tang Sect, because there was no point.

The Tang Sect's support was far too important to the imperial family.

He didn't even dare blame them.

But what was he supposed to do next?

How could he turn things around?

He had considered having Dai Yun'er seduce Mu Han and make him the Star Luo Empire's royal consort.

But Mu Han had disappeared without a trace after the tournament ended.

Meanwhile, Dai Yun'er and that Wu Siduo got along very well. Supposedly, they had even formed a Martial Soul Fusion Skill?

If Wu Siduo had been a man, he would certainly have made Wu Siduo the royal consort.

He could even have made Dai Yun'er empress, with Wu Siduo as the only man at her side.

What's more, Wu Siduo's Martial Soul was the Hell White Tiger.

She surely had Dai blood in her ancestry.

But Wu Siduo was a girl—and Mu Han's woman, at that!

If he kept Wu Siduo in Star Luo, there was no guarantee Mu Han wouldn't strike again.

Even Holy Dragon Douluo En Ci had been crushed to death by that giant truck of his.

Did Star Luo still have anyone who could stand against him?

Before, he'd only avenged a friend in name.

What if he stole the man's woman?

He might just say, "The hatred of having one's wife stolen is irreconcilable. I no longer care who's right or wrong."

Then Star Luo would be turned upside down!

At that moment, Mu Han was in the Dragon Valley Small World.

He felt as if he had become a towering mountain.

The majestic peaks were joined to the earth, and energy from every direction poured into his body.

The bones in his torso—including his spine, breastbone, and ribs—were all covered in a brilliant sheen.

It was as if he had donned a suit of diamond armor.

An indescribable feeling of solidity filled him with power.

Aside from External Soul Bones, the most precious were Head Soul Bones and Torso Soul Bones.

That was because Head Soul Bones could strengthen one's spiritual power, no matter the bearer's species.

Naturally, one originating from a Soul Beast with a Mental Attribute was best.

Like Mu Han's Evil Eye Tyrant Head Soul Bone.

Torso Soul Bones, regardless of species, could strengthen the body.

The Mountain Dragon King was the most powerful defensive being among the Dragon God's descendants, so its torso bone was undoubtedly top-tier.

And what was the Mountain Dragon King? A being that had transformed its body into a continent and conquered the sea for the dragon race!

Mu Han already had an ice-type "virtual torso Soul Bone" in his torso.

It was an effect of his Soul Bone set.

So the virtual torso Soul Bone had also fused with the Mountain Dragon King's Torso Soul Bone.

The Mountain Dragon King's Torso Soul Bone also combined with his other seven Soul Bones to form an entirely new set.

His Soul Core had doubled in size, and dense Soul Power surged upward,

like a waterfall flowing against the current, connecting with his Sea of Consciousness.

It was as if another Soul Core had appeared in his Sea of Consciousness,

much smaller than the one in his dantian, yet still able to communicate with it.

A Second Soul Core was practically the mark of a Super Douluo!

It was also an essential step on the path to becoming a Limit Douluo.

In other words, Mu Han's Soul Power had successfully reached Level 90.

He had long since decided what he wanted for his Ninth Soul Ring: the Heart of the Dragon God.

The Heart of the Ice God was certainly good, especially after fusing with the Ice God's bloodline.

But compared with the Heart of the Dragon God, what was it?

Mu Han used the Heart of the Ice God to absorb the Dragon God's remnant soul.

Then, through the Heart of the Ice God, which had absorbed the Dragon God's remnant soul, he fused with the Heart of the Dragon God.

At the same time, a golden and a silver diamond-shaped crystal appeared where the Dragon God's remnant soul had been.

Seven-colored halos rippled around them.

Then they were encased in a metal shell with a golden-threaded, blue base.

Mu Han intended to use these two Divine Cores as the Eighth Soul Ring and Ninth Soul Ring of his First Martial Soul!

His Soul Core suddenly rumbled. A gigantic vortex appeared in his Sea of Consciousness,

and the Soul Core that had already begun to condense finally took shape.

Together with the Soul Core in his dantian and the Heart of the Ice God in his chest, it completed a perfect three-in-one cycle.

Mu Han's aura began to climb exponentially.

At the same time, both his Martial Souls began their Second Awakening.

His First Martial Soul, Gold-Water Mutual Containment, underwent its Second Awakening and became the Mechanical Dragon God.

His Second Martial Soul, the Heart of the Ice God, underwent its Second Awakening and became the Heart of the Dragon God.

The two also had a Self Martial Soul Fusion Skill, though he hadn't developed it yet.

Mu Han was currently only a quasi-demigod, having just broken through to Limit Douluo.

Once his transformation was complete and his power had stabilized, he would gradually enter the ranks of demigods.

In truth, the vast majority of Limit Douluos were at this level.

Holy Dragon Douluo En Ci, for instance, was a demigod.

But some heaven-blessed prodigies had broken through further through tireless effort and their understanding of the Great Dao, reaching the quasi-god level.

Heaven-Propping Douluo Yun Ming, Vast Sea Douluo Chen Xinjie, and Battle Heaven Douluo Qiangu Dieting were all at this level.

Mu Han had a feeling, too.

Once he reached the quasi-god level, his two Martial Souls would be able to unleash their Self Martial Soul Fusion Skill.

But conversely, if he mastered the Self Martial Soul Fusion Skill, he could break through to the quasi-god level directly.

It was a question of which came first: the chicken or the egg.

But whichever came first, Mu Han's next goal was clear.

He would study the fusion skill between his two Martial Souls!

For now, though, his most pressing task was to complete his transformation and break through to the demigod level as soon as possible.

With that thought, Mu Han looked around.

So many genuine dragon Soul Bones!

After the Heart of the Ice God underwent its Second Awakening and became the Heart of the Dragon God,

Mu Han's Soul Bones had also changed from the Ice God set to the Dragon God set.

So these genuine dragon Soul Bones would make the best nourishment for him, wouldn't they?

"I'm doing this so the Dragon God can return. Forgive me." Mu Han took a deep breath and muttered shamelessly to himself.
